Gentle Proposition for 2009
Gentle Proposition for 2009: That smarts and excellence in virtually any area of human knowledge, skill or endeavor are achieved (if at
all) patiently and by degree, and that the mechanics of achievement always involve correct daily priorities and maximum concentration.
Quite sure overall building block progress plays out roughly along these lines: (1) Sucking infant... without a clue... total dependence...
blank slate. (2) Teenager... acceptance of authority and teachability... gradual self esteem... cognitive self confidence. (3) Young adult...
partial grasp... autonomy... cognitive independence. (4) Full stature... maximum/integrated knowledge... maturity... cognitive invincibility.
Proposition principles would certainly seem to apply in the arenas of professional career skills as well as chess prowess. What think ye?

You forgot to add the final conclusion of the quiet whisper that is approaching.
Go and stand in the fresh air and take a deep breath, then ask yourself if it was all a smoke screen caused by a perverse sense of overwhelming importance.

I thought 'gentle' was an adjective not a preposition. 😉
Best GB, for 2009!
All the very best to you and your family in the new year. Let's take it same as we did 2008... one day at a time.

Please help me to understand your meaning. Mom, two brothers, son and three grandbabies spoke with me today. God, I miss New England.
